Echinacea, Raspberry Truffle PPAF

Exciting new double coneflower with unique shades of flowers.

We're knocked out by this flowerful new double coneflower. The densely petaled double 4-5" flower heads have a unique shade: a tint nestled between soft red and almost pink. Lush 30" plants produce a flurry of firm blooms—landing pads for friendly birds and insects passing by. As the flower forms, the center cone stays rich, dark red—a nice contrast with the "red-or-are-they-pink" petals; the sturdy stems are dark chocolate (the color, that is).

How to Grow Echinacea

Plant echinacea plants outdoors after danger of heavy frost. Space 1.5' apart. Site in average dry to medium-moist soil, in full sun to light shade. Deadhead to encourage reblooming. Water plants regularly and leave undisturbed until established. Cut back spent flowers in late autumn.

Harvesting Echinacea

Harvest when blooms are open. Cones can be cut to dry for dried arrangements.
